Chapter 56 The Man in Her Bed
So, he was afraid of scaring her for a moment.But he couldn't resist. He leaned his forehead against hers and then gently kissed her lips.Although it was just a brief touch, at that moment, his heart felt more at peace than ever before.The timely ring of his cell phone brought Victoria back to reality. She quickly turned her face away and covered his mouth with her hand."Alexander, don't mess around.""Hmm, I won't; I'm running a fever.""Go take a shower."Alexander rolled over, leaving her and picking up his phone.Victoria quickly sat up, but as she turned around to scold him, she saw that his bath towel had come undone. Her face immediately flushed crimson, and she quickly ran off to the bathroom.Alexander looked down at himself, helplessly covered up with a blanket, and then picked up his phone.His voice was even hoarser than before, "Hello?""Are you feeling better? I have some fever patches here, I can bring them up for you."
Isabella was calling.Alexander heard her voice and responded lightly, "Isabella, could you not call so late in the future?""What's wrong?""She's not happy.""She... But I'm worried about you; is her being happy or not that important?""Hmm."Alexander lay there, rubbing his burning forehead, "If she's not happy, then Grandma won't be happy.""So it's for Grandma, then I'll try, but... I miss you right now.""Isabella."He listened and laughed, calling her name with a suppressed heat in his eyes.Was that sentence funny?Isabella sat on the edge of the bed in her sexy nightgown, feeling a sense of impending loss.The moment he returned, he and Victoria were getting along like a two peas in a pod.They said they were getting a divorce, but...He even kissed Victoria today.He had never kissed her, even when she took the initiative, he immediately found an excuse to avoid it.Even though she was pregnant now.Did he not believe her?Or...Isabella felt a great deal of pressure; she wanted to explode.But thinking about the long road ahead, she forced herself to persevere and be patient.But, thinking about Victoria being with him upstairs, perhaps even sharing a bed, she could no longer hold back and threw her pillow on the floor.Why could they be so intimate after not contacting each other for two whole years?——
On the top floor, in the middle of the night.Victoria was sleeping when she felt a burning sensation behind her and instinctively moved forward.But the source of the heat followed, still clinging tightly to her.Why was it so hot?Victoria slowly opened her eyes, as the image of the feverish man slowly appeared before her.She reflexively turned around, then froze.She felt her heart was about to jump out, and couldn't help but call out to him, "Alexander."But for some reason, her throat was suddenly hoarse, and her voice wasn't very loud."Go to sleep." Alexander only said this.His strong arm was still wrapped around her.In the dim space, Victoria was truly at a loss.He was on the sofa when she went to bed.How did he end up in the bed now?And so close to her, holding her."Alexander, I'm Victoria.""I know."Alexander murmured against her back.Victoria thought he must be delirious from the fever, otherwise he wouldn't have come to the bed and been so... with her."Alexander, don't do this.""Victoria, I'm your husband.""There's nothing we can't do."He murmured, sounding very reasonable.Victoria got up and sat next to him, watching him.A few seconds later, Alexander also sat up and looked at her, "What's wrong now?""You are my husband, but you cheated; don't you understand that?""Hmm?""Even if you didn't ask for a divorce, I would have asked for one."
